In a ratio detector

the linearity is worse than in phase discriminator
the circuit is the same as in a discriminator, except that the diodes are reversed
stabilization against signal strength variations is provided
the output is twice that obtainable from a similar phase discriminator

The local oscillator of a broadcast receiver is tuned to a frequency higher than the incoming frequency

To help the image frequency rejection
Because otherwise an intermediate frequency could not be produced
To permit easier tracking
To allow adequate frequency coverage without switching

In a radio receiver with simple AGC

An increase in signal strength produces more AGC
The highest AGC voltage is produced
The audio stage gain is normally controlled by the AGC
The faster the AGC time constant the more accurate the output

In a broadcast superheterodyne receiver, the

Local oscillator operates below the signal frequency
Local oscillator frequency is normally double the IF
